I had the same problem you did/do, but I have a clean install of Windows 2000. The
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA system fault would occur every time or nearly every time
(can't remember) I started my computer but then a reboot would work fine (seemingly).
Very strange. I tried to recall what I had changed as I had a perfectly running
system until a few days previous to my analysis of the problem and after searching
the internet and reading the suggested possible causes I recalled that I had recently
changed the Bloodhound heuristics setting for my Norton Antivirus to high from normal.
I changed the setting back to normal and have not had the problem since. If I get
a recurrence I will post. I sure do like it when things work as they should. I'm
running an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton on an Asus A7N8X with one 512mb stick of Crucial
DDR ram, most stable BIOS settings, no overclocking at all, 766 mb swap file on the
C: system drive. I haven't been going to church, however, but I am a Democrat (mostly).
I haven't seen whether the moon is full, it's been cloudy. Best of luck.
